Product Positioning
PE-MF2 is the successor model to PE-MF1.
Model PE-MF1 b and c were enhanced and will be launched as PE-MF2b
and PE-MF2c.
PE-MF1a will continue to be sold as the cheapest A4 LP-based MF in the
company’s line-up, and selling for this product will be focused in low
H/W price oriented channels.
It is intended to sell PE-MF1a as long as possible, but it will be
necessary to review the balance between marketability and profitability,
because competition in this segment is expected to increase.

cartridge.
AIO: All-in-one
The cartridge can be removed with one hand.
The AIO cartridge for the PE-MF2 is different from the AIO
cartridge for the PE-MF1.

Standard Equipment
This equipment is built-in for both models.
35-sheet automatic document feeder
250-sheet paper feed unit
1-sheet bypass feed
Duplex (for printing and copying)
» PE-MF1: Duplex is for printing only
Ethernet: 10Base-T/100base-TX
USB 2.0
Fax
Memory
RAM: 128 MB (Main board: PE-MF2b & PE-MF2c)
» PE-MF2c also has 128MB on its PDL board (built-in), with an empty
slot which can be upgraded with an optional 256MB board, for a
maximum of 384MB on the PDL board (in addition to the main board's
128MB)
– Note: As the memory for the main board and the memory for the
PDL board serve different functions, the 128MB of the Main Board
and the maximum of 384MB on the PDL board should not be
thought of as additive for a total of 512MB.
No hard disk (built-in or optional) for either model
Memory
¾PE-MF2b (GDI model): The memory on the main board is used for
printing.
¾PE-MF2c (PDL/PS model): The memory on the PDL board is used for
printing. Raster data in the memory on the PDL board is sent to the
memory on the main board. However, the memory on the main board is
not used for printing processing; it is only a temporary holding area. So
the 128 MB on the main board cannot be included in the total printer
memory spec.

Improvements to Basic Features
Faster warm-up time
Improved from 51 s to 48 s
Higher yield for the AIO Cartridge
Improved from 2k to 6.5k (black) and 6k (CMY)

In the PE-MF1, duplex printing is available but not duplex copying.
PC-Fax is added
Improvement of “Dual Access Capability”
This means that there are more cases in which the machine can
do two jobs at the same time (for example, scanning and printing a
fax at the same time).
Additional security features, such as “Locked Print” and “User
Restriction”.
Improved operation panel
A User Tools key was added.
